Half the battle with a kit is not to rush. It's hard I know. You just want to play it so bad you usually cut corners. You should go back and spend more time on the body! Experiment with finishes. Not just stains and paint, but true oil and waxing. Wet sanding can give you a pro finish with little effort. Now you got the bug! Go build another. Keep guitar building alive!!!! Very cool

nah, i wanted it as it is. the washed finnisher was for a chemical reaction, was not ment first dou of the stain i used already had clear varnish in it. but i liked the effect it gave on front and loved the flat finnish, so i just layed down one more layer after the chemical reaction and thougt it was nice :)

@@LokiSnowman that's cool

Great video! I'm planning on doing one of these soon, so I am getting as much info as I can. Also, I really appreciate the fact that you screwed everything by hand. No impact drivers to over-torque or strip a screw head. Thanks

[@LokiSnowman]

thanks :) but the tremolo in this cheaper guitar are not the greatest, wil get out of tune easy. and i did buy other tunning screws that is a bit better than the tunning screw that comes with the kit. other than that everthing is decent, sure pick up is not the greatest, but doing the work fine :)

Dang that looks identical to my prs ce24 except the colors. It's incredible!

[@LokiSnowman]

thanks ^_^ yeah i really love the end result i got after this project :) was going for a clean mahogany brown stain first, but under the process it went more toward "old/washed out" front. and after that i thought "why not!" with the vegvisir rune :)

Hello, I like the finish of the wood. Can I know what products you used? I want to make a guitar with a Kit. Greetings

[@LokiSnowman]

it was a mahogany stain with varnish in the stain

[@ralfschmitt2341]

Good job. Love the wood engraving. Did you do it by hand ?

[@LokiSnowman]

I did use a Dremel tool for the engraving :)

[@tanrol1]

Nice :D

[@LokiSnowman]

thanks :)

[@Junqing]

amazing job! what is the wood colouring finish you used?

[@LokiSnowman]

thanks :) i was jusing a wood stain that already contained clear lacquer. the colour was mahogany brown

[@masadelacasa]

Did the height of the strings need to be adjusted or the neck straightened by the truss rod?

[@LokiSnowman]

The height needed to adjust a bit, and i think if i remember right, the trust needed to adjust as well

[@glenndavis479]

So how much was the kit ? I can't find them in Australia.

[@LokiSnowman]

about 1050 SEK or 143,93 australia dollar. and you need import it from Thomann in germany when Harley benton is their housebrand :) but would recommend to buy other tuning screws

[@lycanroc99]

Is it hard to build? And is it worth the price?

[@LokiSnowman]

No it is not hard :) can take som time with painting/stain, but the orginal pick ups are alright, doing the job just fine. But i did order other tuning screw as well. And most passive pick ups should fit in it if you are after a little more better pick ups, but when it is easy connection/solder free in this kit then you need to solder the connections instead. So worth the money if you are after to paint/stain after what you want
